Sand Types

During gameplay you will encounter and interact with all sorts of sands. This page will outline what they are and what they do. For information on how the different sands are simulated, check Sand Simulation/Chemistry.

The following information describes default settings of various sands; map creators can alter these as they see fit for their maps and the following may not be accurate for maps in Colonies.

You can see how sands are called in-game by hovering over them with your cursor, then taking note of the UI panel at the bottom of the screen:
